Description
Curtain up for the Grifn – the all-road bike that's fast and strong on any terrain, from smooth asphalt to dirt roads. The model was developed specifically for riders whose bike should be able to do one thing above all else: everything.
The Grifn is made for tough, long rides where new routes are explored and incredible memories are made. No journey is too far for this bike. When developing the Grifn, Ridley combined the speed of a thoroughbred racing bike with the comfort of a gravel bike.
With its 990 gram frame (unpainted, size M), the Grifn is a fast and comfortable racing bike that is also ready for off-road rides with a maximum tire clearance of 38 mm. There is even the option of running 40 mm tires with a 1-speed drive or mounting mudguards and dynamo-powered lamps and making the grip usable for all purposes: In addition to driving on asphalt and gravel, it is also suitable for Commuting and for long-distance journeys.
With the Grifn, the driver is no longer limited to a specific terrain. The bike is perfect for anyone who doesn't want to choose between road and gravel. If you are looking for a gravel bike and want to explore picturesque racing bike routes, or if you want to be able to use your racing bike to go on gravel roads as you wish, you will find your perfect bike in Grifn. With the Grifn, Ridley breaks the N+1 rule in cycling.
The name refers to “Griffin,” the English translation for the mythical griffin – an animal with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. The legendary hybrid creature symbolizes dominion over two worlds: heaven and earth. Thanks to its versatility, Ridley's Grifn can also handle two different elements: asphalt and gravel. With the Grifn, the rider not only has access to the fastest racing bike routes, but also the most beautiful gravel tours.
So that you can take the Grifn in any direction, the bike is suitable for use as both a racing bike and a gravel bike and can be completely adapted to the rider's wishes. The Grifn is not only ideal for racing bikes and gravel rides, but also makes a perfect commuter and long-distance bike.
A completely new bike design brings with it new shapes and new geometry. The Grifn's geometry is suitable for both asphalt and gravel and was developed according to Ridley's KOG principle (Kanzo Optimized Geometry). This means that the geometry is optimally tuned to achieve the best handling for the riding conditions the bike is designed for. This is reflected in some key geometry data, such as the head angle and the bottom bracket drop.
The result is a fast, responsive yet stable and balanced all-road bike. The Grifn is a road-ready gravel bike that offers enough comfort for long rides on rough terrain, but is also aggressive enough for a Gran Fondo. This makes it the perfect companion on long journeys.
Its characteristics, its geometry and the possibility of running both a 1x and a 2x drivetrain make the Grifn an extremely versatile bike that offers endless possible uses. In short: With the Grifn, Ridley consistently questions the N+1 rule in cycling.
